Here's the complete list of Indians, Singaporeans, Malaysians, Indonesians, Thais, Hong Kongers and Chinese named among the 1,000 richest people in the world by Forbes this year.
There are 49 Indians, 64 from China, 25 from Hong Kong, nine Malaysians, seven Indonesians, two Thais and four Singaporeans.
Indians Mukesh Ambani,with an estimated net worth of $29 billion, and Lakshmi Mittal, with $28.7 billion, are the fourth and fifth richest men in the world. Mexican Carlos Slim Helu is the richest with $53.5 billion, followed by Bill Gates ($50 billion) and Warren Buffett ($47 billion).
The richest Chinese is La Ka-shing from Hong Kong, ranked 14th with an estimated net worth of $21 billion.
The richest man in China is Zong Qinghou, ranked 103rd in the world with an estimated net worth of $7 billion. Singapore is listed as the country of residence of the two richest Indonesians — Martua Sitorus, ranked 316th with $3 billion, and Sukanto Tanoto, 536th with $1.9 billion.
I am counting families as one unit when Forbes lists them as such. The first number indicates a billionaire's ranking in his own country. The second number is the billionaire's Forbes ranking on the global list.
